BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of a full-service custom sign manufacturing company. We produce exterior and interior signs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with LiFi Media Production, LLC?

We wanted to create a promotional video to showcase who we are as a company and our capabilities. The second purpose was to attract potential employees by our broad range of services and company skills.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

LiFi Media Production came to the office and interviewed a lot of the key staff, including management people. They filmed our manufacturing team on the manufacturing floor to showcase all our capabilities and state-of-the-art equipment. Also, they shot our outside crews and installation teams. They provided their own equipment and set up an interview studio in our conference room.

Initially, we gave them our list of ideas. We collaborated with them and went back and forth to pick the best features for the film. As professionals, they made recommendations about the things we wanted that our potential clients wouldn’t understand. The team guided us through the process and handled the video editing and audio mixing.

What is the team composition?

We worked primarily with Mike (Owner). Additionally, there was another person dealing with the contracting and billing.

How did you come to work with LiFi Media Production, LLC?

We were looking for a new electrical company to partner with and found someone. We saw their video and were so impressed with it that we ended up hiring that company. Then, we reached out and asked them who did their video. We looked at LiFi Media Production’s portfolio, and it was in the direction we wanted to take. Ultimately, their proposal was professional and easy to understand, and their pricing was competitive, so we got two valued partners through the process.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2022. However, we had scheduling conflicts, so we weren’t able to film until August 2022. The final cut was delivered in November 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We haven’t released the video; we just got the final cut. However, they were clear on what they were doing; we were a 100% satisfied.

How did LiFi Media Production, LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They were prompt and quick to respond. Whenever we had to talk about something, they were available. All in all, the communication far exceeded our expectations.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team was passionate, and the hands-on approach they had for everything was very impressive. We could tell that they love what they do, and they did and excellent job.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there wasn’t anything to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to trust their judgment. Come to the table with your requirements and be honest with them about your expectations. Then, let their experience guide you through the process.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

It was really simple, aside from our goals we didn’t have to provide much direction. They knew what to film and when to film it. Once the filming was completed it was a matter of days before we had a draft to review. With a couple of tweaks the video was perfect.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with the videographer, he was friendly and engaging. The owner of the company handled all of the administrative work and it was very straightforward.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have seen a 142% increase in new bidder registration and have been able to provide our sellers a ROA of more than 200% versus pre-COVID returns.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We communicated mostly through email and text messages. If they couldn’t answer our questions right away they responded letting us know they would be back in touch soon, and they followed up on that promise. Their invoicing was through QuickBooks which was convenient because we use the same system.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive part of this company is the quality and emotion portrayed through the videos. The creativity is unlike any I’ve ever seen.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

He also helped coach our clients on how to feel comfortable on camera and did a great job capturing natural and organic responses.
